DS is 10 in mainstream school waiting for an ed psych report to start statement him. We are 2 weeks back in school my son's anxiety is back up and he's started stuttering. Last school year school was phoning daily about his behaviour on the yard, complaints of swearing at other children and hitting and a few complaints from parents about spitting (that was a misunderstanding when he gets excited spit can fly out it's not intentional). School threatened suspension and lunchtime exclusion.
I Met with ed psych for emergency evaluation at the end of summer term after she met with my son, i told her I didn't think the school was supporting him enough, headmaster was vocal in disagreeing. The ed psych agreed they were only reacting to his behaviour and they needed to be more proactive in helping him.
At last day of term headmaster said he's been given 2.5 hours a day one to one for him after requesting emergency support from the council.
I thought we were on the right track for this school year. I've still not had the ed psych report and we can't move forward with applying for statement without it. I'm chasing this with the council every few days
A parent approached me outside school when I was waiting to pick up my children. She said she knows my son's got problems but she's sick of him hitting her daughter and she's had enough. She said she's fed up of complaining to the school about it and also that he'd hit her that day. She was very confrontational and said it in front of other parents and children. I had not been told about my son hitting her. When my son came out of school I asked him, he said he was spinning around with a towel and it caught her. He stims a lot.
I saw red and went and complained to the headmaster I was really upset and wasn't very rational. I wonder how much he is being teased by other children, and how many outbursts are a result of teasing or bullying not from disagreements as the school tells me.
I got home asked my son what was going on. He said she's been taunting him. He showed me the behaviour, i can see why he has reacted that way to her. I've requested a meeting with the school and I'm pretty upset about it all. I'm frustrated that I wasn't told and what are they telling parents? I get so emotional at these meetings I lose focus.
